Does your organization improve community health and well-being through leadership and community partnerships? We invite you to apply for AHA’s 2027 Foster G. McGaw Prize! The Prize honors health delivery organizations that demonstrate alignment between community health needs and co-designed programs. Honorees forge effective collaborations with a broad range of community organizations to improve access to care and address societal factors influencing health.
Award winners have co-created mental health crisis clinics, expanded housing options to help people transition out of homelessness, and used strategic investments to expand capacity in vital community benefit organizations. Like you, they are difference makers in their communities.
This annual award honors one winner and up to three finalists, who will be recognized at the 2026 AHA Leadership Summit in Denver. AHA is accepting applications for 2027 from March 10 through May 5.
